"I felt like a lion in a den of Daniels"

The links between worship and the way Christians treat creation can inadvertently harm, or intentionally heal... Let my worship be in harmony with creation

2/14

The only defining characteristic of parables is that there isn't one

3/14

Don't kill parables: if they're not disturbing me, I'm not listening to them properly

4/14

Listen to your body when preaching... the gift I've remembered is the option to go barefoot on sacred ground

5/14

Anything can be used to talk about God: improvise and be prepared to be surprised

6/14

If interaction in an All Age Service could be done by an inanimate object, it isn't interactive

Peter's mother-in-law's daughter sure knows how to knead dough

8/14

I should sing more gospel songs

9/14

Preaching that is afraid of power isn't honest preaching - and anger isn't prophecy. Preach from your scars not your wounds

10/14

The Wizard of Ants (?) fools the foolish, the heartless, the cowardly and the innocent but prayer brings me home when God rescues the dumbass in me

11/14

When we make Christianity a religion instead of a faith, we become Pharasies and crucify Christ

Jesus is a Syrian (Luke 2:2) who doodles in the sand

There are two Christian paths: I want choose the path that involves me in God's mission - I'm no spectator
